Need some assistance...

I have been commissioned to build a Irish themed 11' 6" float/noodle rod. The customer would like to see some of the ideas I was hinting at within our correspondence and that I'd like to incorporate into its construction.

These include:

The Irish Flag
The Irish Flag Colors
Multi Colored (Irish Flag Colors) Grip/Cork
Maybe a hypolon ringset with the Irish Flag colors within the grip
Thread Wraps
The Shamrock
Decorative Wraps
Nifty Winding Check Ideas
Etc.

I was hoping that if you have any files on hand or know of links to anything that relate this this theme or that you feel I can use to fuel the ideas for the build, that you could be so kind and send them or link me to them.

Putter- I know you probably have a boat load of stuff pertaining to this. I know your busy, but I look up to you and your work....Will you help me? (Was that brown nosing at its best, or what!? LOL)

Thank you,
Domenic Federico

Run a Google search for "FLAGS" I forget the URL but there is one out there that has ALL the flags of the world.... and I think if you go to the "VISUAL WRAP" site, you may find a shamrock or two???

Tight lines,,,

I know on @#$%& I've seen Celtic knot style buttons and rings - maybe incorporate a button into the grip endcap, or a ring for a winding check?

Make the grip out of burnt cork and a regular cork ring near the front - it will look like a pint of Guinness.

Make the grip out of burnt cork and a regular cork ring at the front - it will look like a pint of Guinness.
